Modify default colors for strategy tester?

New comment
 
Are parameters available to modify default colors within strategy tester? One of special interest is the default color for the long trend line is blue. This is next to impossible to see on the black background. Thanks for your help.
 

i would like to know how to do this too, my strategy draws several moving average lines in the tester but the default color for them makes them all red it is hard to differentiate between them when looking over the tester chart afterwards.

 

if you create a template with any indicators and all colors u like and save it withExpertName.tpl in the installDirectory\templates directory

And now run your expert with tester...

...After the testing is complete, you can open the chart with arrows of trade operations shown in it and indicators used during the test. However, there is a problem with that indicators used during the test will be displayed in default colors. For example, if moving averages with different averaging periods were used, they all will be drawn in red, which is not very convenient, of course. The colors can be changed manuall, but there is another solving of the problem. If a template named like <expert_name>.tpl (for example, Moving Average.tpl) with attached indicators is created in aвvance, this template will be used when the chart to be tested is opened. If no templates are available, the tester.tpl template will apply. ...
